Cessna has announced the first production New Citation Sovereign off the production line in the company’s Wichita manufacturing facility.
The New Citation Sovereign is one of six new Cessna aircraft expected to join the market this year.

 The aircraft was announced at the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) trade show in Orlando five months ago. Kelly Reich, business leader for the New Citation Sovereign, said, “It’s a short turn-around from just announcing this program last fall, to already having an aircraft rolling out the door and headed to the next stages of completion.
According to Cessna, the newest Citation will have a range of 3,000nm (3,452 statute miles). Winglets have been added to the New Sovereign, contributing to the increase range and enabling a direct climb to 45,000ft.
